Liszt - Trascendental Etude N.10 (Berezovsky)

[Rachmaninoffkid]

hamelin has better transcendental technique, I wish he wuld record these.

[burntrees4life]

beautiful

[lovesGenet]

who are u stupid people talking about technique. just little kids. U none of u have the first idea.Lisitsa is not musically even in this category. Berezovsky's career has taken off but u peopel can't tell anything about technique. Those who know do not speak on utube!!!

[gouloum2222]

@lovesGenet since when talking about technique has become a taboo ? imo analysing it is not irrelevant at all as it it is linked with what you want to reach musically speaking. we are not little kids, but i think for the majority of us, pianists, students who just wish to learn more with these videos. and i am sorry but SEEING THEIR HANDS, even it sounds sooo unsubtle for your sensitive ears do help a lot. (sorry for any english mistakes,'m french...)

[galaxian06]

Beautiful!! Liszt hard.... :O

Thank You.

I saw your channel, and your videos.

Please see mine, I have some videos playing Chopin, Prokofiev, Beethoven and Bach.

[nicoejz]

Amazing, such passion and power, he's one of the greatest...

[jurriepurrie]

He's falling asleep

[Chiliearts]

The camera can't keep up with his hands,

GODLIKE.

[mishugina]

There's a lot of poetry in his playing but for sheer awesome badass piano playing, Pollini's hard to beat!

[MasterAzunai]

@mishugina watch Berezovsky's version of Mazeppa and you will change you mind.

[Robotman42]

Some of the chords were just a split second rushed, but in general I don't find his playing rushed. My complaint is that he pedals too long and everything blurs up.

[0125churi]

Mert ezt a dalt, azt hiszem, a Lugansky piramis.

[Elicgt]

In my whole life I've never seen this etude played

so effortlessly...

[fl0ryan]

I think people are exagerating with comments. Guys, this is NOT rushed... actually, talking about berezovsky, I would say it's even slow.... BUT I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!!! The fact that he does not move his body very much does not mean he is playing it as if he were practicing it. I am studying this piece right now. Try to play it moving "expressively" your body, and you miss 80% of the notes... a steadier body cleans it immediately. And it still sounds musically!!!

[ardnail]

The best of Liszt I ever heard, conceived and energrtic

[toruweber]

If rushed, insensitive or what else... if you can play this technical perfectly , 90% of that piece is done

[polgar101]

he played...insensitively...rushe­d...he played as if he was just practicing

[kph2105]

) - : A rushed and insensitive performance....

[addeex1]

Do you guys really think this is rushed?! :S :S

[mosen17]

no offence we can criticize all you want, we cannot do better than Berezovsky!

[unnamednewbie13]

Even though I know I probably couldn't make a 'Star Wars,' I can still criticize Episodes 1-3 for being a gross division from what I loved from the original trilogy.

[afertyus1000]

lugansky can do as good

[celach]

The video of Berezovsky playing this etude that I uploaded is much better if you ask me.

[Lukecash12]

thank you. It is indeed.

[trtnec]

I'm not saying this is the best interpretation, but if you think this is rushed, you play it too slow. And that includes Cziffra, he makes this piece his own. I'm not saying I don't like his interpretation, but it's not really allegro agitato anymore the way he plays it.

[gsautov]

From all of the modern pianists Berezovsky has got the most transcendental technique. His technique exceeds even that of Evgeny Kissin, if you don's believe me listen to his performance of Chopin-Godowsky etudes.

[shubus]

Marc-Andre Hamelin has something to say about this. And his Chopin-Godowsky etudes still set the standard IMHO.

[homich00]

@gsautov I did listen to it, and I don't agree. It think Hamelin is the best technician, and Pogorelich has the best combination of technique and expression. Sometimes a wrong note adds to excitment. Listen to Islamey y Pogorelich.

[24link135]

@gsautov would agree with you, if there werent Hamelin whos technique is likewise transcendental. Polini is also rather strong, so is Agerich.

[BMX90]

@gsautov I'd say the most technically transcendental pianist is actually Marc-Andre Hamelin. But then again what's the point in comparing Kissin's monstrous technique to Berezovsky's or Hamelin's or whoever else...

[afertyus1000]

@gsautov one name Hamelin

[BlazeKenny]

@afertyus1000 one name Cziffra

[afertyus1000]

@BlazeKenny yes i forgot i love Cziffras interpretation of this

[Maja90LOVEBerezovsky]

What year is that?

[FredilYupigo]

Um... awesome.

[Maja90LOVEBerezovsky]

His right hand is a bit stiff... but anyway he plays fantastic!!! I really didn't like this etude before I heard Boris playing it!!!

His performance so interesting and different from others! I love it!

p.s. I think he played Schuman's Toccata on this recital too, so can somebody PLEASE post it again? :)

[shadowdart65]

yeah he did mess up the end.

still amazing!

[ZaMRai]

He majorely messed up the ending, but he recovered so well it was almost unnoticeable to people who never played it. XD

[Darklord12356]

Lol, I'm one of those people who never played it...just out of curiosity where did he mess up?

[trtnec]

the stretta at the end, with the crazy octaves in the right hand. Listen to any other recording and compare and you'll notice the messup

[123eldest]

Or have heard it before.

[TheAlcolade]

I liked what he did at around 1:39, plays a note with the single index finger pointed

[misotoma]

really good the way he plays it now.. with no difficulty no restraints. too much to put in words.. this man's technique is insane.

[FaJuTAUM]

I thought it was the mafia guy playing xD

[jubulalau]

not he's best performance, but it's great anyway.
